I should have been a dancer. I\u2019m always thinking about dancing and music, but I\u2019m suffering because of my knee (I have two new hips and a knee), so I\u2019m thinking about music that I want to dance to … maybe in old women burlesque style, but for seniors (she laughs). Somehow, we think about music as transmission: for example gospel music, I was in a Baptist church. Even though I was in Catholic school, the Black church was much more interesting to me because of the music and, in fact, Whitney Houston\u2019s mother was my choir director when I was 13\/14 years old, so it\u2019s kind of in my blood. Gospel and spiritual, for me, is very important as well as what it meant for people who were enslaved, how they were able to keep that culture in their soul without letting the slavemasters know. And so that whole tradition … everytime I look at something I can pick a genre of music that is connected to what was going on at a particular time: like in the sixties and the seventies with rnb, James Brown\u2019s \u201cSay It Loud I\u2019m Black And I\u2019m Proud,\u201d Marvin Gaye\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s Going On,\u201d Curtis Mayfield \u2026 How can I possibly choose 10 tracks???? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
